3 Nephi 25:2 · Malachi 4:2
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
3 Nephi 25:2 reproduces Malachi 4:2 near-verbatim, carrying the block's most-noted variant: KJV 'Sun of righteousness' -> 3 Nephi 'Son of Righteousness' (with the minor 'calves of the stall' -> 'calves in the stall'). The Sun/Son difference is reported here as a textual fact; what it signifies is interpretive and not asserted. Diction contact: the title 'Son of Righteousness' stands in the corpus at exactly three verses -- 2 Nephi 26:9 ('the Son of Righteousness shall appear unto them; and he shall heal them'), 3 Nephi 25:2, and Ether 9:22 ('he even saw the Son of Righteousness, and did rejoice') -- so Nephi's own prophecy already used the same rendering the 3 Nephi Malachi import carries, where the KJV base reads 'Sun'. The phrase contact is reported; nothing is asserted beyond it. 2 Nephi 26:9 is deliberately left off the register as an endpoint. Far-end reference: Malachi 4:2 (quotation-class).
